disc size for an 886

hoosierhog · Dec 5, 2014

I have a 16 ft white 252 and an 18ft white 263 disc the 263 has a bit bigger disc blades (less wear on discs)I've pulled the 16ft with a oliver 1850 no problems but have not used the 263 yet. IM looking at an IH 886 to replace my 1850. Will it pull my new disc?

I say yes but it will depend on your ground ,how heavy it is, it maybe more than it really wants. I have pulled 20 foot behind an 856 but different ground it pulled hard with 14 foot , I also forgot the condition the tractor is in will matter as well.

It's up to you, but i would get a 986 , to replace that 1850, That 886, isn't going to cut it! My cousin had a new 886, way less power than my 806-T.

May rethink my answer , I haven't been on a 886 thought it should be a newer 856

Look for a 966. Most torque for the money.

The Oliver is rated about two more HP over the IH their both in the 90 hp range. The shipping wt. is higher than the 1850 by a 1000 lb.Can't see why it won't handle the disk.

Our family near Muncie in had 2 886 tractors bought brand new in 1978 for over 20 years. Reliable enough but they are basically a four bottom tractor. Without a turbo they lug down pretty quick in heavy ground. You definitely have to dual it up but we also had a 1066 and 1466 bought used after the 886s came to the farm. If you are going with an ih tractor get a 1466, best tractor ih ever made. Don't buy one that has had the pump turned up, the crankshaft won't handle it.

The 886 will do anything the Ollie will.
